That is one really big assumption that because I worked for Detroit Diesel that I only had experience with diesel engines. You should look into how much Detroit Diesel is involved in the marine and not just diesel. As any branch of G.M. they have a huge umbrella of powerplants they design and servic...

More damage is done to internal combustion engines when they are run at low rpms as opposed to the high range. You have more fuel slobbering and carbon build up taking place. When the engine is in the ...

I agree about the Engle. I like the Engle 35. There is a big difference between $74 and $600.

I wonder if it really does attract fish if it attracts Great Whites, Tigers, and Bull sharks? Go ahead kids, jump in.

I have been through one in a catamaran and I would never want to anchor.

Wind pushing the boat hard on the anchor line and water coming over the boat sounds like a place I would not want to be.

We had a squall hit us on Lake Monroe, came out of nowhere. We could see the wind lifting the water off the lake as it was approaching. It took a couple of seconds to recognize what it was. Bright sunny day, the wind hit first and only after the wind hit us did the clouds and thunder and lightening ...
